    Summary

    When your police department is corrupt and they've nicknamed you "Castiel by the book Novak", your career doesn't have much of a future.

    Castiel moves to a different state to work in a new police department. While getting to know the town, a handsome stranger named Dean keeps catching his eye. On the job, he learns of a trouble-maker named Winchester who never gets in trouble, which is everything he despises.

    Summary

    Cass Novak was really only looking for a hookup – one night to let the whole world go away, all of his responsibilities and the ghosts of a bitter past that he’s done everything he can to move beyond. When he wakes up with a strait-laced but very cute businessman named Dean Smith, he’s ready to declare success and walk away.

    Except that Dean keeps calling him. And Cass isn’t interested in buttoned-down yuppies in suits who’ve never experienced one real moment of pain in their lives…right?

    Except that maybe he is. And maybe Cass is somehow falling in love for the first time since his soulmate died five years ago. Which he could handle – probably….

    Except that he’s also beginning to have a strange series of nightmares and flashbacks to a whole separate life he never lived, in an apocalyptic hellscape with a version of Dean he barely recognizes. And once he starts to notice, the whole world begins to seem…just a little off.

    Cass is the happiest he’s ever been, and he’s also losing his mind. It’s a very weird year.

    Summary

    Toes in the sand, moonlit swims, and a handsome (if a bit standoffish) B&B owner - Dean's vacation should be perfect.

    So why does the cook look at him like she’s seen a ghost?
    When did everything start tasting like salt?
    And why does Dean keep dreaming of drowning - and waking up with the feeling that something important is missing?

    Summary

    Dean’s your typical half-orphaned, monster-killing 22-year-old until a trenchcoated stranger crashes into his back windshield one September night, claiming he’s an angel that knows him from the future and that he’s on the run.

    Frigging fantastic.

    (Or, in which Castiel gets stuck in Dean’s timeline preseries and Dean kind of hates it—until he doesn’t.)

    Summary

    “What else was I supposed to say, Sam?” Dean asks him. “I’m not...look, Cas is my best friend, and I care about him. That’s it.”

    “And you renovated a house for him,” Sam continues. “And live with him.”
